Writing: style?

RFI; can anyone recommend a style guide for prose writing? I know I'm doing a few things wrong (punctuation in speech, for example), and I'd like to have a reference for how to do it correctly.

i'm fond of strunk & white too but in the long run, you might be best off with something academic like the chicago manual of style. i know these are meant more for formatting non-fiction but they tend to have serious grammar sections.
